Beseck 2-13
Message:
After making plans with PikePersuader we decided to hit Beseck Lake for some pike. I arrived at the launch around 7:30am and the weather was nice for a change. No wind and around 25 degrees, but warming by the minute. I was really suprised that the lake was solid ice with no snow/slush that we've been used to seeing. I met a guy just off the ramp that I thought was the guy I was meeting so I drilled 4 holes, set up 3 tipups and began jigging. It turns out we had a comunication breakdown and he was not the guy. So I stayed there for about an hour with no bites and decided to head for the cove and look for PikePersuader. As I was leaving, The guy I had been talking to landed a 26" pike on a big shiner. I walked down the lake talking to everybody and saw another pike about 28" and a large catfish about 4-5lbs on the ice. Nothing else of size. When I got to the cove I ended up hanging out with a group of guys who were really cool so at least I wasn't fishing alone. I drilled 6 more holes (thru 16-18" of ice by hand) and began fishing again. I was set up between 6'-15' of water and using frozen mullet (I think). I was also jigging with nightcrawlers and never even got a bite. The guys I was with caught a few small pike and a few small bass all on shiners very close to shore. The highlight of the day was a 5lb. LMB one of the other guys got. Never found PikePersuader, but I had a great time even though I got no fish. No more frozen bait for me.

I think I saw you guys out there. I think you were the only people I didn't talk to. You guys were out in deeper water than most everyone else, right. Oh well. maybe next time. I'm going to Bantam Sunday am. Mabey we'll meet up then.
